Hi all,

I have a urgent problem regarding EJB and servlet, I cannot find the 
home interface of the bean from the servlet (whereas a standalone 
client works very well)...Can anyone pls give me some hint as to what 
maybe be wrong here?  Below is the background info, sorry, it is kind 
of long...

My bean is called Stamp, the classes are

stamp.ejb.Stamp                 - remote
stamp.ejb.StampHome     - home
stamp.ejb.StampBean     - bean class
java.lang.String                - primaryKey

There are two applications deployed.
stamps - the EJBs
test - the servlets.

My problem, I CANNOT get the bean in servlet :((

Here is my ejb-jar.xml 

     <ejb-jar>
         <description></description>
         <enterprise-beans>
                <entity>
                        <description></description>
                        <ejb-name>Stamp</ejb-name>
                        <home>stamp.ejb.StampHome</home>
                        <remote>stamp.ejb.Stamp</remote>
                        <ejb-class>stamp.ejb.StampBean</ejb-class>
                        <primkey-class>java.lang.String</primkey-
class>
                        <reentrant>True</reentrant>
                        <persistence-type>Bean</persistence-type>
                </entity>
         </enterprise-beans>

         <assembly-descriptor>
            <security-role>
               <description>Users</description>
               <role-name>users</role-name>
            </security-role>
            <method-permission>
               <description>Restricted</description>
               <role-name>users</role-name>
               <method>
                  <ejb-name>Stamp</ejb-name>
                  <method-name>*</method-name>
               </method>
            </method-permission>
         </assembly-descriptor>

     </ejb-jar> 

It works when I used standalone client, having this..
        <application-client>
        <display-name>Stamp</display-name>
        <description>Example Bank</description>
        <ejb-ref>
                <ejb-ref-name>StampHome</ejb-ref-name>
                <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
                <home>stamp.ejb.StampHome</home>
                <remote>stamp.ejb.Stamp</remote>
        </ejb-ref>
        </application-client>


However, it doesn't work when using servlets, I have this..

<web-app>
   <display-name>Testing app</display-name>
   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
      <description>Servlet that calls the Stamp bean</description>
      <servlet-class>vc.web.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
   </servlet>
   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

<!--
        <ejb-ref>
                <ejb-ref-name>Stamp</ejb-ref-name>
                <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
                <home>stamp.ejb.StampHome</home>
                <remote>stamp.ejb.Stamp</remote>
        </ejb-ref>
-->
</web-app>

Note that I have ejb-ref commented out, i had been told not to use 
ejb-ref in web.xml for my case, and I do a lookup on the global name 
of the bean, which is Stamp
        
        Object boundObject = context.lookup("Stamp");

but resulted in "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Stamp not found"

I have also been told that maybe it is because I hace the 
EJB/servlets deployed sepearately as two apps.

I initialised the context using...
        env.put
(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server.ApplicationIniti
alContextFactory");
        env put
(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ormi://p500.cheapdull.mine.nu/stamp");
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"123");
         
        context = new InitialContext(env);
 
(similar in the client as well, but use 
ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory instead)

so does any one has any suggestion as to what amI doing wrong here?

Thanks heaps in advance. :)
